Bumble Berry Pi – A Cheap DIY Raspberry Pi Handheld Cyberdeck
A cheap, easy-to-build Raspberry Pi Handheld Cyberdeck I wanted a Clockwork Pi uConsole, but didn’t want to wait 90 business days I like the tactile feeling of a mini keyboard I wanted something small enough to fit into a pants pocket, so I can easily take it anywhere, but with a large enough screen to […]
Marble Fountain
I really enjoy procedural generation, especially systems designed to work with hardware outputs. After starting work at Formlabs in September of 2023 and gaining access to much nicer printers than I was used to, I started wanting to tackle some large algorithmic structure projects. Complexity is free in 3d printing, the limit of design geometry […]
The Principles of Diffusion Models
Abstract:This monograph presents the core principles that have guided the development of diffusion models, tracing their origins and showing how diverse formulations arise from shared mathematical ideas. Diffusion modeling starts by defining a forward process that gradually corrupts data into noise, linking the data distribution to a simple prior through a continuum of intermediate distributions. […]
Operating Margins
3rd of November 2025 Divide a company’s income by its revenue, and you get the operating margin. For some volume of sales that comes into the business, it gives an idea of what percentage is left as cash in the end. Barring some accounting shenanigans regarding where the bottom line is. The size of margins […]
The Manuscripts of Edsger W. Dijkstra
(photo ©2002 Hamilton Richards) Edsger Wybe Dijkstra was one of the most influential members of computing science’s founding generation. Among the domains in which his scientific contributions are fundamental are algorithm design programming languages program design operating systems distributed processing formal specification and verification design of mathematical arguments In addition, Dijkstra was intensely interested in […]
Using bubblewrap to add sandboxing to NetBSD
November 08, 2025 posted by Leonardo Taccari This report was written by Vasyl Lanko as part of Google Summer of Code 2025. As of the time of writing, there is no real sandboxing technique available to NetBSD. There is chroot, which can be considered a weak sandbox because it modifies the root directory of the […]
Montana Becomes First State to Enshrine ’Right to Compute’ into Law
Montana has made history as the first state in the U.S. to legally protect its citizens’ right to access and use computational tools and artificial intelligence technologies. Governor Greg Gianforte signed Senate Bill 212, officially known as the Montana Right to Compute Act (MRTCA), into law. The groundbreaking legislation affirms Montanans’ fundamental right to own […]
Zensical – A modern static site generator built by the Material for MkDocs team
We are thrilled to announce Zensical, our next-gen static site generator designed to simplify the process of building documentation sites. Distilled from a decade of experience, Zensical is our effort to overcome the technical limitations of MkDocs, reaching far beyond its capabilities. Zensical is the result of thousands of hours of work – built from […]
Reviving Classic Unix Games: A 20-Year Journey Through Software Archaeology
How I spent two decades tracking down the creators of a 1987 USENET game and learned modern packaging tools in the process. The Discovery: A Digital Time Capsule from 1987 Picture this: October 26, 1987. The Berlin Wall still stands, the World Wide Web is just text, and software is distributed through USENET newsgroups in […]
